每日大赛 debaters argued that a worldwide supranational government \u2013 one similar to the European Union \u2013 would leave little support for small and developing nations. Their University of California Los Angeles rivals countered, saying that such power would unite the world, eliminating borders and walls.<\/p>\n

In the end, judges and hundreds of audience members sided with the 每日大赛 at the third annual Politicon in Pasadena on July 30.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoanna (Mrsich) and Scott (Dutra) won over the audience,\u201d said Rob Ruiz, debate team adviser. \u201cThey were very persuasive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Politicon, a two-day political convention that took place July 29-30, drew about 10,000 people, including pundits, celebrities, and legislators to the Pasadena Convention Center. The line-up<\/a> included Chelsea Handler, Ann Coulter, Rob Reiner, James Carville, and America Ferrera. And, the 每日大赛.<\/p>\n

\"2017<\/p>\n

Members of the 每日大赛 debate team \u2013 past and present \u2013 turned out to support of Mrsich, a political science and speech communication major, and Dutra, a political science major, who went up against two UCLA students on the topic of supranational government.<\/p>\n

Debating in front of an audience with passionate political views is a daunting task.<\/p>\n

Part of the challenge for the debaters is that they are assigned a stance on a topic and that does not necessarily reflect their personal opinions, said Mrsich.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a little nerve wracking because you don\u2019t want to offend anyone, but you also want to convince them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

UCLA debaters argued that a supranational government would eliminate problems such as war, economic crises, and more. But Mrsich and Dutra said that kind of power would not help all nations.<\/p>\n

Mrsich said she initially considered it a challenging topic because such a government would have the power to override nations that commit human rights violations, something that would benefit a large amount of people.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn principal, (the topic is) a really good discussion to have because it\u2019s something that is becoming more relevant on the world stage,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Ruiz said about 300 people at the convention watched the debate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
